Tomato and Mozzerela Tarts



Wow!These are AMAZING!Oh so good!I could eat the whole batch by myself!Something about the summer makes me want to eat tomatos all the time!There is nothing better than a ripe juicy tomato with maybe a little salt and pepper;)

I got this recipe from Paula Deen's website,they are a little pricey to make,but pretty simple to put together.

Ingredients:
All-purpose flour for dusting
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (from a 17 1/2-ounce package), thawed
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 large plum tomato, thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 ounces fresh mozzarella, very thinly sliced (8 or 9 slices)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.

On a lightly floured surface, unfold the pastry. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 8 or 9 rounds; place rounds on the prepared baking sheet. Prick the pastry rounds all over with a fork. Bake rounds for 5 minutes. Remove from oven.

Sprinkle each with about 1/2 teaspoon Parmesan, then top with a tomato slice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Lay a slice of mozzarella on top of each tomato. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until puffed and golden. Sprinkle each tart with basil and serve warm.
